WELL-BALANCED DADS Media Kit.jpg

A show for anyone who is a dad, has a dad, or wants a dad. 

Well-Balanced Dads is a family-friendly character comedy about Dick and Dale, two suburban dads and best friends, who take the audience on a camping adventure. With their trusty man-van, they go on a journey chockfull of dad jokes, dance parties, snacks, partner acrobatics, macho movie references, and unthreatening audience participation. This hilarious duo balances levity with deeper themes like finding your inner child, hypermasculinity, and navigating life after the kids have flown the nest. 

 

“6 stars from this dad, 5 from the rest of the family!” - Good Dad

“My face hurt from smiling.” - Good Kid

 

Best suited for ages 8+
